Tomorrow is Flag Day...

as established in 36 U.S.C. 110. The Library of Congress has some related information (and links) here.

The Flag Code, which governs the display and care of the flag, can be found at L.I.I. and/or FindLaw.

UPDATE: JURIST ThisDay notes an interesting coincidence(?). In addition to being Flag Day, today is the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in West Virginia v. Barnette [FindLaw], in which the Court held that school children could not be compelled to salute the flag if, as in the case of Barnette, it conflicts with the student's religious beliefs.

That page also includes a somewhat-hidden link to more information about the topic of saluting the flag.
